Third period

UND 3, Western Michigan 0 — Jordan Schmaltz (Dillon Simpson, Luke Johnson) 11:00. The puck is wrapped to the point where Simpson sends it to Schmaltz at the other point. With lots of traffic in front, Schmaltz blasts one that hits the post, off the goalie and in.

UND 4, Western Michigan 0 — Rocco Grimaldi (Stephane Pattyn, Nick Mattson) 13:34. Just as a five-on-three power play ends, Pattyn finds the puck at the top of the crease and swings away. It eventually goes to the side, where Grimaldi slides it just across the line before Morrison is able to dig it out.

UND 5, Western Michigan 0 — Paul LaDue (Nick Mattson, Brendan O’Donnell) 14:53. UND goes on another five-on-three power play and Mattson moves it to LaDue, who one-times it past Slubowski.
